Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Peanut butter (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for filling)
- 0.25 cup Vanilla protein powder (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 0.5 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 0.25 cup of honey, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together 0.75 cup of vanilla protein powder, 0.5 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ball. Flatten each ball gently with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until just lightly browned. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the filling, mix 0.75 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 0.25 cup of vanilla protein powder in a bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a layer of the filling on the bottom side of one cookie, then sandwich with another cookie on top.
Repeat the filling and sandwich process until all cookies are assembled. Serve and enjoy!
